General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Labour are more trusted than the Conservatives on EVERY policy issue prompted.
Which party do voters trust most on...?
(Lab | Con)
NHS (42% | 17%) Education (39% | 20%) Economy (38% | 23%) Immigration (33% | 21%) 🇺🇦 (31% | 24%)
It’s because it’s not a ranking question but a winner questions: Who do you trust most to handle…
That way you’ll basically get answers that are aligned with an opinion poll.
If they instead had asked: “How much do you trust X to handle…” where voters had to answer for EACH party, you’d have a more trustworthy poll.
This poll, in my humble opinion, is CRAP.
